This week your Sunday Night Movie F9: The Fast Saga brings the need for speed. Vin Diesel and the famย are in for one crazy and action-packed mission as they face off new enemies and do just what they do best in the name of speed.ย Before you dive in with Domย and his crew, let's feed your nostalgia and look at some other iconic fast cars from the big and small screen.
KITTย - Knight Rider
Billionaire Micheal Knight had lots of charmย and aย fast and high-techย ride! His car was indestructible, could talk, and had all the fancy gadgets aย sleek crime-fighter might need. You could call KITTย one true sidekick, whoย also had the most memorable, catchy one-liners. Butย if there is one thing we 80s junkies remember about the show,ย it isย KITT's incredible speed!
DeLorean Time Machine - Back to the Future
Now, this was noย ordinary car! It wasย a super cool time machine!ย With the right amount of speed, itย created aย portal between the past and the future and was Doc's beloved masterpiece.ย Back in the 80s, every kid wanted to be Marty and take a trip through time in this hot number. Pretty awesome, hey?
Ectomobile - Ghostbusters
There's something fastย in the neighbourhood!ย This coolย Cadillac was initially an ambulance that was cleverly converted to the famous crime-fighting ghost-busting mobile. It was known for its unique look, extreme and rather odd-looking gadgets, and had the perfectย amount of speed to catch up withย those darn ghosts.

Batmobile - Batman
Dare we call itย the fastest superhero car in the history of TV? The smooth, sleek, and sexy Batmobile was the ultimateย ride for Gotham City's great hero. This personalised and heavily armoured vehicle was a real crime-fighting machine. It spent a lot of timeย tucked away in the secret Batcave, but whenย unleashed and driven by Batman,ย it was trulyย unstoppable.
The A-Team Van - The A-Team
This 1983ย GMC Vandura cargo van was quite fast, but when itย had the awesomely notorious Mr T behind the wheel, it became even faster! Hey, you need an uber fast ride when dealing with badass criminals and super fast getaways. Thereย was always only one rule... nobody touches Mr T's Van! Speaking of vans:ย an honourable mention goes out to theย Scooby-Doo Mystery Machineย thatย Fred and the gang often sped off in when chased by those creepy ghouls and monsters.
